NEW DJI Mini 3, excellent beginner drone

[@SpeakTheTruth-gk8dq]

These are smart drones. What impresses me the most is how it will return back home on its own at the touch of a button. Also the 6.2 mile range, the 2.2 mile elevation, 34 mph speed and 51 minute flight time.

[@Matanumi]

I mean all it is is.GPS systems

[@deekthetrucker5885]

I wish just after a press of a button I could Return To Home on a Saturday night after a few pints in my local pub 🤪

[@jasonalward4720]

Yea but the battery that gives it that extended flight time also puts you over the weight limit of 249g and you have to register yourself as a pilot with the FCC.

Another DJI drone to beat! DJI's releasing so many awesome drones lately!

[@miketheknife2]

Not only a good beginner drone, not only a budget drone, but an excellent back up drone.

[@Raydavidson1979]

My first beginner drone was the mavic mini that is the OG of it all and i was hooked

[@sweatpantsclub]

Just bought one! So excited to get it up and become experienced. Thanks for the video. Some beautiful shots.

[@RainBitcoins]

Did you end up getting yours my friend? I'm thinking of ordering one as well. Is it fun and an easy learning curve?

[@sweatpantsclub]

@@RainBitcoins I did! All was going well until I tried a night flight and smashed it into my house. Broke a “wing” that needs to be replaced. Go slow. Practice in big areas.

[@RainBitcoins]

@@sweatpantsclub cool thanks... I guess I should buy the extra warranty, I think it's called refresh or something... Thx again for the reply!

[@georgeschillinger6299]

Enjoy

[@andrewwyllie5397]

Very interesting. I like the way you describe the features and the working of the drone.

[@josephfdunphymba3241]

To me it makes sense to get the optimal prop guard protector. Raises the weight but with no collision avoidance, lowers your chance of prop damage

[@photoshopcafe]

Good call

[@gunnersecuador7515]

As far as the flight time goes, you have to keep in mind the environmental effects. If it's hot or cold it will draw more, wind also. Still a good little unit I love mine so far.

[@nuklearpuppy]

Great tips, especially the vertical panorama tips. I’ll keep on board when using in Majorca next week, subbed. Thank you 🙏

[@robertg9095]

I'm going to buy mine very soon 👍🏽

[@SSHK237]

Smart machine Colin!! Just amazing! Our generation saw the most technological advancement and its evolution ... yeah! ... the generation of the 50s!!!

[@gu9838]

one commentor said the video was more shaky in the 3 vs the pro but i dont see that here at all. looks great!

[@queirozdrone]

Awesome drone 🎉 I'm flying here on a mountain region of Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷🎉

[@RainBitcoins]

oh wow, enjoy my friend. Did you post any videos to youtube?

[@EcoMan-te4vu]

thinking of getting one, so a well timed video Colin, thank you for posting

[@jasonalward4720]

I just ordered one I kind of wish I got the pro for the object detection feature. The mini 3 has one but only down not front side side n back ?

[@M1234-r6e]

Great review. Thank you 😊

[@mrhristv]

Thank you, Agent K

[@bobmulder4064]

I have had my drone 5 days and have been learning fast and taking some great pics weather has been against me but soon as it is good will be out checking some fishing places at low tide look for patches of water that the fish will be in when the tide drops

[@ComeSeeVee]

Costco has them on sale for 300 with filters and a 64GB memory card for 300 until the 21st. On my way now lol

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Had mine since launch Colin. Not used it yet. Typical! Great video. I believe it IS the best beginner drone out there. Has a lot of the pro features of the mavic yet it’s at a very affordable price. Feature packed!

[@photoshopcafe]

This is the MIni 3, released today. It's different than the pro :)

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

@@photoshopcafe oh my bad. I watched the video and didn’t even realise. 😮

[@Stingray8854]

Ok so I’m thinking of buying the Mini 3. I have a Mini SE, and a Mini 2 SE. I still fly both of them, but I’m thinking of getting the Mini 3 fly more combo. I’m concerned about what I’m learning for when remote ID rolls out. I’m not a part 107 guy, I just fly recreationally. I wouldn’t mind registration, but I’m concerned that when remote ID starts, it’s supposed to display the location of the ground controller, which is the pilot. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with that. So my question is, if I get the Mini 3, don’t register it, what happens if I use the extended battery?

[@Snurre99]

Does the software stitch together the vertical images as well, or is that done afterwards? Which editing programs do you recommend for a newbie with a not-too-big budget

[@djmorales3535]

The tracker is a really cool feature. If this had it then it would be perfect. Really thinking about the pro version just for that.

[@timaz1066]

Thank you for the video as it was very informative and will help me with my brand new purchase of the mini three.

[@JLBREMER]

Just ordered one. Coming from Mavic Mini. The original one. Looks like it’s gonna be fun !

[@ComeSeeVee]

I’m on my way to the store to get mine I have the mavic mini how did you like the upgrade?

[@JLBREMER]

@@ComeSeeVee ahhh man it’s AMAZINGGG! It flys so much better !! I love the zoom and the camera. All the camera features. The 360 picture is my fav. Plus doing the wide angles and being able to aim up. The controller is a game changer. I love it. I got my controller with the screen and mini 3 for $429 It was a steal at that price.

[@mwales2112]

I was all set to purchase the Mini 2, but then I noticed the RC controller and that all changed... Switching to the Mini 3 now. Nice video thanks

[@glenwhyte2555]

Same for me.. i was looking at the mini 2 on fleabay for ages, kept missing out with bids of 350. Saw the mini 3 with the rc controller and thought thats the one for me. Got both id's and insured it and flying around loving it 🫵🤩

[@yashpatill2710]

Does Mini 3 have crash sensors & obstacle avoidance features?

[@mwales2112]

The Mini 3 does not, but the Mini 3 Pro does.@@yashpatill2710

[@HARLYDAVIDZ]

WHAT happens if you go further then max distans from controler??

[@ADV_Agenda]

Does it come with cruise control??

[@Elizabethsaldana-h7x]

Do you need to register this specific done under FAA? and if so, under recreational or commercial?

[@photoshopcafe]

Not unless you are using the larger batteries

[@Michael-Pinto]

Am getting the mini 3 combo plus with the RC for 756 USD after 125 USD discount so now should I go with the mini 3 or the pro? Spending 370 USD more really worth for the mini 3 pro?

[@Nozoki]

Not in my opinion. Camera is *almost* identical so you really only get some obstacle avoidance. Not sure if the 3 has all the follow me and other tracking stuff but not a high priority for me to spend the extra money. Now to just find the money to buy a mini 3 LOL.

[@XxkrazymagexX]

The mini 3 pro has obstacle avoidance , tracking which can really add a new level to the filming aspect , and can do 4k at 60 fps instead of just 30 . Believe it or not though the mini 3 (standard) actually has a longer flight time due to having less sensor consuming power and the lower fps on the 4k. If you have the money get the pro. It'll future proof experienced you when the mini 3 runs out of growth room and instead of needing a whole new drone that's more powerful having the pro allows you to grow into it more fully . I got the mini and love it to death but wish I would of dropped a few more hundred bucks for the pros extra features that really make it the best drone for the price . The pro is filming some footage you would almost only see only 1k dollar plus drones . Just look on KZbin mini 3 pro cinematic footage it'll take you off your feet how good it looks . The pro also has double the iso of the base model so night time shots/footage looks way better .

[@williamjohnsonii2613]

Just brought a 3, can't wait.

[@oklahomaokie]

What power of a zoom does it have? Are you happy with it after 8 months?

[@swarooptanmay1]

Can we connect phone to mini 3 to download the photos and videos

[@DorkyThorpy]

Hi, If I wanted to fly this along a stretch of coast line documenting plastic debris, would it hold a fixed altitude, or do I have to constantly keep an eye on that? Thanks - Great video BTW.

[@schoc13]

Excellent!

[@joshmartin7558]

I've wanted a good drone for so long. I need to get one

[@visserdh]

I made a panorama photo and was suprised that I only found a hugh batch of photo's which were part of the panorama photo. This means you have to construct the panorama photo yourself afterwards?

[@kylecarter7928]

It's hard to say no to a powerful budget-friendly drone!

[@piterex7]

IS not budget drone ,maybe from Walmart for 50$ is those drone at not cheap.and the pro version with rc controller time fly is shorter than with DJI mini 3

[@michaelt.cornero4463]

Interesting video! What application do you use to edit videos and photos?

[@kram3586]

Thanks for making this vid

[@The1neo34]

With the bigger battery its 290g which puts it over that 250g limit, worth noting.

[@normscott2182]

Didn’t get the screen controller- which app for cell control?

[@Srydog]

It should be in the manual or search up the name of your drone then put app at the end so like Dji mini 3 app

I am a beginner. Which should i use dji mini3 or mini3 pro? Please suggest me.

[@lukastemberger]

Are you a beginner done user or beginner cinematographer? If you don't care about grading your footage to match your camera, then the Mini 3 is great. Otherwise you need D-Cinelike on the Mini 3 Pro.

[@georgeespinoza469]

Now I got interested with the Mini 3 when I saw the price!

[@photoshopcafe]

Yeah, its a good deal

[@oklahomaokie]

​@photoshopcafe wanting to purchase one myself. It will be my first drone. Looks like the controller has a Zoom option. What power of zoom does it have? Optical or digital?

[@Awc198]

are you from nz or Aus ?

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

You don't have to register it, unless you are in the US and you are using it in a Part 107 operation which has no exemptions from registration.

[@RyderL2002]

Although I kind of dislike that they removed some really great features, it’s still a really solid drone for the buck

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Super great video super cool drone. Call me old school but I'm going to stick with my. Typhoon H 480 by Yuneec Keith I know DJI Is the leader In drone technology.

My DJI mini 3 drone locked code-30122 how open n unlocked?

[@ShacreamArt]

nice video

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks

[@sooptime]

Expensive lesson. The RTH is not very accurate. There is a 3m margin of error. The one time I tried the RTH without intervention, it crashed on the edge of my truck cab and an arm broke hitting the ground. I will not ever use the RTH again unless in a wide open landing area. Other than that, I love the little thing and wish I'd bought one long ago.

[@photoshopcafe]

Yeah, you should let your home point set in a clear location. I always keep a close eye on RTH and switch to manual control when it gets close

[@wakkinito]

I thought mini 3 doesn’t have obstacle avoidance only the pro version.

[@Nozoki]

It only has downward facing OA I believe.

[@Gazza300]

I had the DJI Mini2 untill it went rogue, So i filed an insurance claim and got a credit for the full price of the drone. So i upgraded to the DJI Mini 3 . I didnt realise that it came with two big batteries in the the fly more combo. Guess i have to register the drone now.

[@Mike44460]

The charging station will fully charge the battery that is closest to a full charge regardless of location. User-owner.

[@Eric_In_SF]

I’m finding these days. It’s pretty pointless for bracketing. Just exposed for the highlights and the sensors are usually good enough and the software is definitely good enough these days to suck enough detail out of the shadows for an acceptable photo. And much less work.

[@Kevin-ib4gv]

Not the same camera as the Mini 3 Pro. There are several differences between the Pro and Mini 3. Look up the specs.

[@Lithium023]

There are different features unlocked with the mini 3pro camera but it's the same quality footage out of both the mini 3 and pro

[@Kevin-ib4gv]

@@Lithium023 I agree with the quality of the video but there are several things different about the camera. It's nice that we now get 48 mp after the firmware update and hopefully DJI will unlock more of the Pro features to the Mini 3 as time goes on.

[@lukastemberger]

​@@Lithium023 It's absolutely not the same quality footage. Mini 3 doesn't have D-Cinelike, so grading it to match your camera will be way more limiting.

[@XxkrazymagexX]

It's also has like 6300 iso which is almost double the base model . Meaning it's night time capabilities are significantly better ,it offers 4k 60 instead of 30 ,and comes with full tracking/ professional camera color grading . So that price difference is actually pretty sane for what a sub 1k dollar masterpiece of equipment you get. You can make alot of money with that drone fun aside . Even just making KZbin videos of pretty footage , filming local races ,sports,pets,real estate,ECT.

🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴

[@piterex7]

Hey buddy. I mast say I’m and I’m not criticising but why in us most people saying entry level or beginner. It cost fortune! And after software update mini 3 gets 48m pixel as well and hardly any moch better than pro version. Ów was cost 50$ it would be entry level drone but does not . But if you not gonna spend 1000$ you gonna be point by people oh you did not spend extra 200 for pro version. Sounds special pro . That the reason I don’t like society cos everything whatever you buying outdoors gear cars bikes bow etc people shows of what gear you should have .bit they didn’t mention one think one think only go and enjoy yourself whatever you do whatever if you flying drone or climbing or bike riding never only constantly competition.
